Maybe.

Looks much better.

The newline before the </a> leads to an unsightly underline after the
quimby gif on many browsers.  You'd probably not be surprised to hear
how many pages are ridden with these particular eyesores.

It sure would be boring to be a pedant without nits.

I should check out psgml, but I don't do much HTML in the first place,
and when I do it's often a matter of man-handling Word- or Frontpage-
generated pages to something closer to HTML-compliance (Frontpage
appears unable to generate pages that Netscape can display properly.
Go figure...)
